thats just the luck of the draw there. i got lucky like that too with my first grow with mexi-cube's. fruit bodies weren't nearly that big, but they were big for that particular strain.

Moisture is very important! they're something like %90 water aren't they? So no moisture=no growth. 5 shrooms to you sir! any peroxide in your water or is it straight tap or distilled or what?

tyvm there is likely to be a small percentage of peroxide in it as my perlite floats on about 2 inches of mixed h202 and water .. the humidity would transfer that .. also i have about a 10/90 ratio of it in my sprayer .. but no , the puddled water is tap-water allowed to sit in an open bottle for about 3 days to evaporate any chemicals .. cheers

From what I've read, I would've thought letting cakes sit in water would kill the mycelium.
I must say, the information on this site is contradictory and confusing to a newbie to say the least. I find the approaches in the forum rarely equate to the ones in the drop-down menu links. Which should someone follow?

how would water hurt mycelium ? the standard dunk time before going to the fc is 24 hours completely submerged

Somewhere it says something about misting from afar because the tiny droplets of water would damage the mycelium if they directly hit it. I don't know!
So are you supposed to put cakes in water for part of the day? It sure as hell seems to be working for you! I think I'll try it on one cake if I ever get my grow operation off the ground. (Still in research phase)

I think it's the mushrooms that can get waterlogged and get more easily infected, that's why people spray the sides of the container and not the cakes. Think of mushrooms as plants, they all like slightly different things depending on the breed, light, temp, humidity, food, PH, minerals, sulfur, vitamins, casing layers, substrate and even what agar they like vary from shroom to shroom. That's why some tecs seem to contradict each other. But hey this breed obviously likes sitting by the side of the pool with it's toes in the water. When you get down to the basics an Equador is just a type of Cubenis mushroom and the whole breed grows under pretty much the same conditions. Xdzt just follow a tec that works with the mushroom you are trying to grow, as you get better experiment a bit and vary the ingredients or conditions to get hopefully better results. For example I added a couple crushed sticks of blackboard chalk to my last batch of birdseed as a substitute for agricultural gypsum... I don't know if it'll work...it should, but I won't know till I try to grow with it. Later

damnit royal flush,. you are going to get arthritis in your shoulder if you keep patting yourself on the back
-------------------- Stop experimenting half way through your first grow. Grow it to maturity, watch it, learn from it. Do this a few times then experiment with different ideas and figure out what works best for you.
